Participate in DOWNTOWN TRICK-OR-TREAT
Each October, downtown Douglas business owners invite the community’s children to visit them for trick-or-treating. This year’s event will take place on Monday, October 31st from 2-5 p.m. Participating businesses post a special sheet in their window to let trick-or-treaters know they’re welcome. The Enterprise team also creates an online Google map that participants can follow. Please let Jen know if you’re planning to post the sheet so she can add you to the map. You can reach her at 307-358-2000 for complete details.
